Labour MP Kim Leadbeater has claimed that current laws surrounding assisted dying in England and Wales are "not fit for purpose" as she published the details of a new bill on Monday aiming to legalize the process.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill seeks to allow terminally ill adults with an expected maximum of six months left to live in England and Wales to be assisted in ending their life if made voluntarily and with the consent of two doctors and a High Court judge.
